Report an abuse for product Business Law | Cleaner vs. Mehajer

Description

There are different areas of law that are applicable to this case. One of the areas of law that is applicable to his is contract law (Glenn, 2000). In the case, MrYan has been contracted to provide cleaning services to an apartment block on John Street, Lidcombie between September 2011 and July 2014. However, the defendant, Mr Mehajer says his company SM Projects had subcontracted the cleaning services to another company, Downtown Project Development, which had further contracted Mr Yan to provide the cleaning services. To understand whether there was a valid contract between Mr Yan and Mr Mehajer, contract law should provide the required guidance.

Another area of law that is applicable in this case is corporation law. This area of law mainly concerns with the study of how shareholders, directors, employees, creditors, and other stakeholders like consumers, community, and others relate with one another (Reiner et al., 2004). Corporation law is applicable in this case to decide whether Mr Mehajer is a direct of the said company, Downtown Project Development. The defendant says the company is run by his sister but there is a sworn affidavit that shows Mr Mehajer as the sole directors of the company. In this case, corporate law will help to determine whether Mr Mehajer is the director of the Downtown Project Development, and whether he bears the liability for the debts incurred by the company. One of the most important roles of corporation law is to discourage directors from exploiting tither position of power.
